The Master Pro Receivers are great for current repeater projects even though they are crystal controlled. I just order crystals from Bomar (keeping in mind they have a $50 min order amount).
Actually, the transmitters are great too... you can saw off the final section from the rest of the chassis and make an amplifier out of it. They are also quite useful as transmitters if you're not paying the electric bill (tube type finals). The power supply also has interesting applications... that big fat yellow cap is worth saving if you junk the transformer. It's a shame some of the vintage tube radio gear people don't see how the Master Pro mobile power supply is a gem unto itself and well worth saving for future projects. Hope you can find a home for them... cheers, s. --- In [email protected], "Brad" <bradzieg...@...> wrote: > > I have accumulated a number of GE Master Pro Radios (mostly UHF, from what I > recall).
